2012 a very special year

Jim Rogers : 2012 is a very special year. Dozens of countries will have elections, including the United States, France, Korea, and Russia. The performance of these countries significantly affects the world economy. Usually governments increase spending in order to win the elections. The central banks will also print more money. Thus we will have more liquidity in the market. However, do not expect that the stock market will perform particularly well, since the global economy is still facing serious problems, such as the debt crisis and the growth slowdown. The rebound will be limited.- in Shanghai’s First Financial Daily
